Please clean out the mismatched distfile and try again:
sudo port clean --all gperf
sudo port install gperf
If it again doesn't work, it should print a line saying what server it
downloaded the file from. Show us this output so we can investigate
that server.
Also, you can investigate the distfile it downloaded. It's located in /
opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/gperf/. It's supposed to be a gzipped
tarball. Is it? Or is it perhaps an HTML page, or some other kind of
file? What's in it?
